Doctors now believe that clopidogrel, a well-known antiplatelet medication, could be more effective than aspirin for long-term prevention of heart attacks—especially in those at high risk.
About Clopidogrel:
Clopidogrel is a medication that belongs to the class of antiplatelet agents that prevent blood clots from forming.
It is commonly prescribed to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in people and those with peripheral arterial disease or unstable angina.
Clopidogrel works by blocking the action of platelets, which are blood cells that play a key role in forming blood clots, to reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events.
Some of the common uses of Clopidogrel include:
Preventing heart attacks
Preventing strokes
Treating peripheral artery disease
Preventing blood clots after certain medical procedures
Preventing blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Clopidogrel is usually taken orally, with or without food.
However, the dosage and frequency of the medication will depend on the individual's medical condition, age, and response to treatment.
Clopidogrel is typically taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day, to maintain consistent levels of the medication in the body.
